The Silent Witness : A Trial Against Power

A locked room. A dead senator. A city trembling in silence.

In a city ruled by power and secrets, the truth doesn’t just hide — it is hunted. Senator James Harding is found dead in his private office. No prints. No note. No way in, or out. It should’ve ended there.

But it didn’t.

Prosecutor Emma Carter isn’t one to back down. Fierce, brilliant, and unshakably loyal to justice, she takes on the case that could end her career or expose everything. Her only lead? A man who hasn’t spoken a word in three years.

Jonah Reeve was once a fearless investigative journalist. Until the night a car left him broken and voiceless. But silence doesn’t mean surrender. Jonah remembers. And now, through trembling hands and American Sign Language, he’s ready to tell the story they tried to bury. As Emma and Jonah unravel a trail of hidden files, whispered threats, and buried witnesses, they discover something more dangerous than a murder: a conspiracy stretching into the highest offices of justice itself.

But some people don’t want the truth uncovered. And they’re willing to kill — again — to keep it quiet.

A silent witness. A fearless prosecutor. A city on the edge.

Book Two in the Epic, Fantasy Adventure Trilogy of Magic & Destiny (The Legend of Little Square 2)

Following the first book in the award-winning trilogy-Forgotten Realm of Secrets, the epic fantasy fiction saga continues with Book Two-Keeper of the Lost Flame.

Lit Square has gotten caught up in the paranormal, arcane magic, and supernatural trouble, and till now, has lived to tell about it.

Tough and seasoned, and with courage to spare, he is unafraid to take what he wants. No longer is he the same awkward, timid boy who left behind his home, family, and the girl he loved, just to uncover the truth. The almost seventeen-year-old has survived the unimaginable, but is still the same sweet, unassuming kid who left home at fifteen. Undeniably handsome, he is unaware of the effect his looks have on others-especially Greta, the girl who runs the inn.

In Keeper of the Lost Flame, Lit's journey brings him to the quaint mountain town of Mountainview, as he follows an ancient artifact. But something is off. Hovering beneath Mountainview's homey and warm surface lurks a malevolent presence that has claimed dominion over the close-knit town for generations.

By night, dark entities prowl the streets, keeping residents behind closed doors and shuttered windows. The boarded-up Cemetery of Eternal Sorrow holds the town's darkest secret.

Between flirting with Greta, and being pulled into Mountainview's paranormal problems, Lit discovers his heritage is part of something ancient and vindictive. The town's history conceals a shameful secret that's been waiting centuries to be revealed, and only Lit has the blood and guts to uncover it. His reputation has preceded him, and nightmares call his name.

Keeper of the Lost Flame by Award winning author, Rose M. Delorane, continues where Forgotten Realm of Secrets left off. Dark secrets are revealed as they collide with the supernatural in a fast-paced fantasy fiction epic saga.

Murder on the Hawaiian Coast

When the body of Dorian Veynar—the ruthless tycoon who built a tourism empire across the Hawaiian Islands—is discovered on his Waikīkī estate, paradise is shattered. What begins as a serene morning overlooking Diamond Head turns into the scene of a shocking murder that sends tremors through Honolulu’s elite. Detective Keoki Tanaka, a man whose roots run deep into the volcanic soil of Hawai‘i, is called to unravel the truth behind Veynar’s violent death. The investigation draws him into a labyrinth of suspects: a fiery former lover humiliated in public, a calculating business partner with everything to gain, employees betrayed and discarded, and islanders whose sacred lands were desecrated by Veynar’s greed. From the glittering resorts of Honolulu to the quiet coastlines of Maui, Tanaka navigates webs of power, betrayal, and ancestral claims. As the body count rises and old grudges resurface, he must untangle lies buried beneath paradise’s postcard-perfect facade. Each clue points to hidden motives, each alibi crumbles under scrutiny, and every revelation pulls him closer to a killer driven by ambition, vengeance, or both. Rich with Hawaiian atmosphere and steeped in suspense, Murder on the Hawaiian Coast is a gripping whodunnit where paradise itself becomes the stage for a deadly reckoning. In a world where beauty masks danger, Detective Tanaka must uncover the truth before the islands’ darkest secrets claim another life.

Why You Need to Start Planning Your Holiday Book Promotion in September and October

(Click here to get Book Promotion Help)

Ah, the holidays—the most wonderful (and chaotic) time of the year. Shoppers are in a frenzy, shipping deadlines loom, and your readers are out there searching for the perfect gift. Spoiler: that perfect gift could be your book—but only if you start planning now.

If you wait until November or December to think about promoting your book, you’re already late to the holiday party (and someone else snagged the good eggnog). That’s why September and October are the sweet spot for getting your holiday promotions rolling. Here’s why.

1. Readers Shop Earlier Than You Think

Forget the old-school last-minute mall runs. These days, people start holiday shopping as soon as pumpkin spice lattes hit the shelves. If your book isn’t already on their radar by October, it risks getting lost in the holiday shuffle.

2. Promotion Takes Time to Gain Traction

Whether you’re scheduling blog features, social media ads, or newsletter swaps, you can’t just snap your fingers and expect results overnight. Promotions build momentum, and the earlier you start, the more visibility your book will have when readers are ready to click “buy.”

3. The Competition Gets Fierce

By November, every author, business, and their grandma is flooding feeds with sales pitches. Standing out in December is like shouting in Times Square at midnight on New Year’s Eve. But if you start in September or October, you’ll already have carved out your space (and maybe saved your voice).

4. You Can Strategize Instead of Scramble

Holiday promotions are about more than just posting “Buy My Book!” once a week. When you start early, you have time to:

• Create themed graphics and images.

• Schedule social media posts in advance.

• Pitch to holiday gift guides, book blogs, and influencers.

• Bundle your book with other goodies (bookmarks, signed copies, gift baskets—oh my!).

5. Readers LOVE Holiday-Themed Marketing

Let’s be honest—slap a Santa hat on your book cover graphic and readers pay attention. Start early, and you can weave in Halloween, Thanksgiving, and holiday cheer, keeping your book visible through the entire season.

Don’t Be the Author Who Waits

Think of your holiday promotion like shipping a package. You wouldn’t wait until December 24th to mail it and hope it arrives on time, right? Same goes for your book. September and October are when the smart authors plant the seeds, so their sales can grow into a bountiful holiday harvest.

So grab your calendar, dust off those festive graphics, and start planning now. Because nothing looks better under the tree than a beautifully wrapped book (except maybe two books). 🎄📚

Why You Need Business Powered by Metaphysics

 

Why You Need Business Powered by Metaphysics for Your Business

---

3. Hustle Meets Hammock Time

Finally—a business book that actually encourages napping. Rest isn’t laziness; it’s strategy. Imagine running a business where recharging your energy is as important as recharging your phone.

---

4. Modern Tools Meet Ancient Wisdom

From AI-enhanced journaling to cosmic branding, this book merges the digital age with metaphysical traditions. Your brand will be aligned with the universe and look amazing on Instagram.

---

5. It’s Actually Fun to Read

With 57+ chapters packed full of humor, rituals, and quirky practices (yes, even manifesting while you sip coffee or find coins on the sidewalk), you’ll laugh while learning how to make your business thrive. No more dry jargon. Just woo-meets-wisdom.

---

Why You Can’t Afford to Skip This Book

• You’re tired of burnout and blah business advice.

• You secretly (or not-so-secretly) believe your vision board has more power than your business plan.

• You’re ready for abundance without selling your soul—or your sanity.

• You want to vibe at the frequency of HECK YES instead of ugh, Monday again.

The Bottom Line

✨ Because success isn’t just about spreadsheets—it’s about vibes, vision boards, and a whole lot of metaphysical mojo.

Why Sensual Metaphysics is the Relationship Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

 

Sensual Metaphysics

Why Sensual Metaphysics is the Relationship Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

Relationships are wonderful—but let’s be real, they can also be tricky, exhausting, and sometimes stuck on autopilot. That’s where Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing The Sacred Into Your Relationship by Rob Alex, Ph.D. steps in. This isn’t just another relationship guide—it’s a journey into blending the metaphysical with the sensual to create something extraordinary.

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more than dinner, Netflix, and arguing about laundry,” this book is your ticket to something deeper, more meaningful, and a whole lot more fun.

Sacred Meets Sensual

This book weaves together metaphysical practices—like energy alignment, moon rituals, and mindful communication—with the art of love and intimacy. The result? A roadmap for couples to reconnect, reignite passion, and build a relationship that feels less like routine and more like a sacred adventure.

Think of it as moving beyond the surface and exploring the cosmic side of your love life. After all, why settle for ordinary when the universe is offering extraordinary?

Practical, Playful, and Profound

One of the best parts of Sensual Metaphysics is how approachable it is. You don’t have to be a guru, a yogi, or someone who knows all their chakras by name. Each chapter is an invitation—to try new rituals, explore sacred touch, or experiment with the power of intention.

It’s about finding what works for you and your partner and making it your own. And yes, there’s plenty of room for humor, mistakes, and a little playful exploration along the way.

Why Your Relationship Will Thank You

• Reignite the Spark: Move past “same-old, same-old” and rediscover the excitement you had at the beginning.

• Deeper Connection: Learn to communicate and connect with an energy that goes way beyond words.

• Shared Growth: Instead of growing apart, you’ll grow together—spiritually, emotionally, and intimately.

• Unique Rituals: From moonlit meditations to sacred touch practices, you’ll create rituals that are as unique as your love story.

Who Is This Book For?

Honestly? Anyone in a relationship. Whether you’re newly in love, decades into marriage, or somewhere in between, Sensual Metaphysics offers tools and ideas that can strengthen your bond. If you’re looking to turn “just fine” into phenomenal, this is your next must-read.

Final Thought

Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing The Sacred Into Your Relationship is more than a book—it’s an invitation to see your relationship through a new lens. It encourages you to blend love with spiritual exploration, passion with purpose, and intimacy with infinite possibilities.

Because when love and the metaphysical meet, magic happens. ✨

Under Fluorescent Lights

In the glossy world of corporate ambition, the real game is played behind closed doors… and someone is always watching.

At Valor & Watts, a global consulting firm with offices in Madrid and London, success is measured in strategy decks, whispered alliances, and perfectly timed betrayals. Into this world steps the French girl. She is elegant, ambitious, and disturbingly unreadable. From the moment she arrives, rumors follow her: Why Madrid? Why now? And what is she really after?

As she rises through the ranks, she navigates icy colleagues, corporate politics, and a dangerously magnetic connection with Jack, a married British manager who knows how to play the game... and how to break the rules.

But under the fluorescent lights, secrets fester. A missed client meeting. A forbidden romance. An anonymous email that changes everything. As her carefully curated image begins to crack, the question becomes not just how far she’ll go... but who’s already plotting her downfall.

Tense, addictive, and razor-sharp, Under Fluorescent Lights is a scandal-filled tale of ambition, betrayal, and the high cost of being seen.
